RAJAB 1438 – RAMADHAN 1438 (APRIL – JUNE 2017)

Inspiring Stories - 2 An Imprisoned Uncle After the Battle of Badr, a few captives came into the hands of the Muslims, and one of them was the uncle of the Beloved Prophet , Hadrat Abbas Radiallahu Anhu (who had not yet accepted Islam). When the prisoners were offered their freedom in exchange for payment, Hadrat Abbas Radiallahu Anhu proceeded to the Prophet and said to him, “Muhammad, what do I have to give? I’m the poorest man in Makkah.”

A Plump Camel Hadrat Ali Radiallahu Anhu was once at home when Sayyidah Fatima Radiallahu Anha said to him, “I’ve cut this cotton. Take it to the market and sell it for some flour which I can use to feed Hasan Radiallahu Anhu and Hussain Radiallahu Anhu.”

So, the Companion proceeded to the market and managed to sell the cotton for six coins. Before he could spend it, however, he came across a beggar Rasoolullah replied, “What about the few gold bricks you secretly gave to your wife before leaving for who asked, Who will loan Allah a beautiful loan?” Badr? Beloved uncle, why do you try to hide this from Hearing this, Hadrat Ali Radiallahu Anhu decided to me?” give him the money instead. After witnessing this miracle of his, the stunned A short while later, a Bedouin appeared before Hadrat Hadrat Abbas Radiallahu Anhu accepted the deen of Ali Radiallahu Anhu pulling a plump she-camel and Islam! said, “Ali! Buy this camel from me.”

Lesson

Hadrat Ali Radiallahu Anhu replied, “I don’t have any money.” Nothing is hidden from our Beloved Messenger , and this expansive knowledge of his was just one of his The Bedouin offered, “I’ll give it to you on loan,” and many miracles. he then handed the nose-string to the Companion and walked away.

What am I hiding ?

A Bedouin once hid something in his sleeve and approached the Holy Prophet , saying, “O Muhammad! If you can tell me what I’m hiding, I’ll accept Islam.” The Prophet asked, “Will you truly accept it?” “Yes, right here.” The Prophet then said, “Then listen: you were walking in a jungle not long ago and came across a pigeon’s nest, from which you removed two of its chicks. When the mother came down to protect them, you grabbed her too and placed them all in your sleeve. That’s what you’re hiding right now.” Hearing this, the astonished Bedouin immediately proclaimed the Kalima: LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAHU MUHAMMADUR RASOOLULLAH Jāmi’ul-Mu’jizāt, Pg. 21

Lesson Even non-Muslims know that proof of prophet hood is having knowledge of things that were not physically seen by them!

Soon afterwards, a second Bedouin appeared and asked, “Ali Radiallahu Anhu, will you give me this camel? I’ll pay 300 coins for it.” Hadrat Ali Radiallahu Anhu agreed, and the Bedouin then gave him the coins, took hold of the camel and also walked away. Hadrat Ali Radiallahu Anhu then searched for the first Bedouin but was unable to find him. With the money still in his possession, he eventually decided to make his way back home and found the Holy Prophet there when he arrived. Rasoolullah smiled at him and asked, “Ali, will you tell them the story or shall I?” Hadrat Ali Radiallahu Anhu replied, “O Rasoolullah , you explain it.” The Prophet then said, “The first Bedouin was Jibrael Alaihis Salaam, the second Bedouin was Israfīl, and the camel was a camel of Jannah that will be ridden by Fatima Radiallahu Anha. Allah was so pleased with your selflessness that He rewarded you in this world and will reward you for it again in the Hereafter.” – Jāmi’ul-Mu’jizāt, Pg. 4


RAJAB 1438 – RAMADHAN 1438 (APRIL – JUNE 2017) Lesson The close servants of Allah would rather starve than see a beggar go hungry.

The Forest Doe A female deer which lived in a forest with two of its fawns was once walking somewhere when she got caught in a trap and was powerless to escape. In this state of desperation, she fortunately saw the Holy Prophet advancing towards her and cried out, “O Prophet of Allah! Have mercy on me.” Rasoolullah heard her plea and asked, “What do you need?” “I’m caught in a trap while my two children are at a mountain nearby. Release me and let me feed them one last time. You have my guarantee that I’ll return afterwards.” “I’ll free you and wait here. Come as soon as you’re finished.” Rasoolullah then released the deer and stood by the trap in wait. While it was gone, the hunter of the trap (who was not a Muslim) appeared and was informed by the Prophet of the entire incident. He replied, “It won’t be good if that deer doesn’t return.” The Prophet responded, “You’ll see yourself whether it returns or not.” As promised, after feeding its fawns, the deer returned to the trap and placed its head on the Holy Prophet’s feet. Seeing this miracle of his, the hunter then too lowered his head and accepted Islam, making both him and the deer recipients of the Holy Prophet’s mercy (and both saved by it from their relative destruction). Shifaa Sharif, Vol. 2, Pg. 76,

Lesson

As stated in the Quran, the Holy Prophet is not just a Mercy to Mankind, but a Mercy to the Worlds (which naturally includes the animal kingdom). We also see that even animals obey the Prophet . Can those who don’t now be said to be lesser than beasts?

RAJAB 1438 – RAMADHAN 1438 (APRIL – JUNE 2017)

The House of a Non-Muslim Woman After the Conquest of Makkah, the Prophet was once talking with one of his servants and leaned on the wall of a house belonging to a non-Muslim woman. The woman noticed this from within and immediately closed every window of her house out of her hatred for the Holy Prophet , not wanting to hear his voice while inside. Hadrat Jibrael Alaihis Salaam then descended and said, “O Prophet of Allah , Allah declares, ‘Even though this woman is a disbeliever, your rank is still elevated, and by you resting your back on her wall, I (Allah) cannot allow her to burn in the Fire as a result. She may have closed the window to her house, but I’ve opened the window to her heart, purely from the blessings of your actions.’” As soon as Hadrat Jibrael Alaihis Salaam said this, the woman emerged from her house in restlessness, fell to the feet of the Prophet and proclaimed the Kalima. – Nuzhatul-Majaalis, Vol. 2, Pg. 78

Lesson If the Holy Prophet’s simple leaning on a woman’s wall can become her means of salvation, how can Sayyidah Aminah Radiallahu Anha (the mother of Rasoolullah ) not be a Muslim when it was her womb that once housed the Greatest of Creation? How truly and severely misguided are those who slander the parents of our Beloved Prophet .

said he had a family to support, so I let him go.” Rasoolullah then said, “He was lying. Be careful, he’ll come again tonight.” As expected, the thief did return that night but was able to weasel himself away from the Sahaabi a second time. When he was seen again on the third night (also foretold by the Prophet ), an annoyed Hadrat Abu Hurairah Radiallahu Anhu finally grabbed him and said, “Tonight I’m not letting you go, and you’ll definitely be taken to the Prophet !” The thief replied, “Abu Hurairah! Wait! I’ll teach you something beneficial: If you read Ayatul-Kursi before you sleep, Allah will be your protector, and Shaitaan won’t be able to come near you.” Saying this, the thief then managed to escape a third time. In the morning, Hadrat Abu Hurairah Radiallahu Anhu told the Prophet what had happened, and he replied, “Even though he’s a liar, what he said is true. O Abu Hurairah! Do you know who that thief was?” “No, O Rasoolullah .” The Holy Prophet said, “That was Shaitaan.” – Mishkaat Sharif, Pg. 177

Lesson In this story, the knowledge of both the past and the future is proven for the Holy Prophet – not only did Rasoolullah ask Hadrat Abu Hurairah Radiallahu Anhu about the thief (without being told what had happened the night before), he also knew that the thief was going to come again!

A Late-night Thief

The Fortunate Ya’ fur

The Holy Prophet once appointed Hadrat Abu Hurairah Radiallahu Anhu to guard the wealth of the Muslims that they’d accumulated through charity. One night, while he was overlooking it, a thief appeared and was seized by Hadrat Abu Hurairah Radiallahu Anhu, who said, “I’m taking you to the Holy Prophet !”

How could the Mercy unto the Worlds not accept its request?! For this reason, the Prophet stopped in his tracks and asked, “What do you wish for?”

The thief begged for forgiveness and replied, “Let me go! Please! I have a family which I’m finding hard to support.” Out of mercy, Hadrat Abu Hurairah Radiallahu Anhu then allowed the crook to leave.

After the Conquest of Khaibar, as the Holy Prophet was making his way back home, a donkey presented itself to him and said, “O Prophet , hear my plea.”

The donkey replied, “My name is Yazid ibn Shihaab. Allah placed me in the 60th generation of my family’s lineage, and all of my ancestors had a prophet travel upon them except me.

In the morning, the Prophet smiled and asked his Companion, “What did that thief say to you last night?”

O Rasoolullah , I too desire having you ride on me. You may even say I’m deserving of this, since just as how I’m the last of my family, so too are you the last of the Prophets.”

Hadrat Abu Hurairah Radiallahu Anhu replied, “He

Hearing this, the Holy Prophet accepted the


RAJAB 1438 – RAMADHAN 1438 (APRIL – JUNE 2017) donkey’s wish, rode on it, and changed its name to Ya’fūr. – Hujjatullah alal-Alameen, Pg. 460

Lesson A donkey is seen here acknowledging our Beloved Prophet to be the last of all prophets. Can those who deny this belief now be said to be, with regards to their beliefs, lesser than animals?

The Holy Prophet & The Angel of Death

5

A Welcome Unparalleled Nearing the time of the Holy Prophet’s demise, Hadrat Jibrael Alaihis Salaam presented himself to him and said, “O Messenger of Allah ! Today the Heavens are in wait to welcome you. Allah has said to the Keeper of Jahannum, ‘My Beloved’s soul will pass by today, so extinguish your fires in honour of him!’ The Maidens of Jannah have also been ordered to adorn themselves, and every angel has been commanded to stand in rows in your respect.

When the time of the Holy Prophet’s demise neared, Hadrat Jibrael Alaihis Salaam descended with the Angel of Death to his blessed home and said, “O Rasoolullah , the Angel of Death is awaiting your permission to enter. He hasn’t taken permission from anyone before, nor will he ever again. If you grant him consent, he’ll come in and carry out his duty.”

“I (i.e. Hadrat Jibrael) too have been ordered to present myself in your service and convey the good news to you that no Ummah will enter Jannah until yours does. Also, on the Day of Judgment, Allah will bestow your Ummah with so much mercy and blessings because of you that you’ll be satisfied with the outcome.” – Madaarijun-Nubuwwah, Vol. 2, Pg. 254

The Prophet replied, “Let him in.”

Lesson

Every creation in the world honors the Holy Prophet except for those who harbor enmity for him in The Angel of Death then entered the blessed house their hearts. How dreadful will the end result of these and said, “O Rasoolullah , Allah sent me here and ordered that I do whatever you command. If you allow unfortunate individuals be? me to take your soul, I will. Otherwise, I’ll return.” Hadrat Jibrael Alaihis Salaam then said, “O Prophet , Allah wishes to meet with you.” The Beloved Prophet replied, “You have permission to take my soul.” Hearing this, Hadrat Jibrael Alaihis Salaam concluded, “Now I’ll never visit this Earth again, since you were the only reason I used to come.” The Angel of Death then carried out the very work that Allah had created him for.

The Blessed Ghusl of The Holy Prophet

When the time for giving the Holy Prophet ghusl had arrived, the Sahaabah were unsure of whether his clothes should be removed (like everyone else’s) or not and had a discussion amongst themselves regarding what to do about this.

Without warning, all were then simultaneously – Mawaahibe-Ladunya, Mishkaat Sharif, Pg. 541 overtaken by a deep sleep, and after lowering their heads onto their chests, they collectively heard a Lesson voice say to them, “Don’t you know who this person is?! Beware! This is the Messenger of Allah ! Give him ghusl with his clothes still on him.” Not even for kings did the Angel of Death

seek permission to carry out his work, but here, he was ordered by Allah to do whatever the Holy Prophet pleased, and was even ready to go back to where he came from if so commanded! Did the Angel of Death ever seek permission from those who claim that the Beloved Messenger was an ordinary man like them?

After this, the eyes of every Companion opened, and the ghusl of our Beloved Prophet was then given to him without anyone removing his clothes from his blessed body. – Mawaahibe-Ladunya, Vol. 2, Pg. 378, Mishkaat, Pg. 537 -Dalaailun-Nubuwwah, Pg. 167

Lesson:

Can anyone now claim to be equal to the Holy Prophet , when his saliva brings Noor and vision to the eyes of others whereas our saliva simply spreads diseases?

UTILIZING YOUR ZAKAAT IN THIS RAMADHAN

Alhamdulillah, the blessed month of Ramadhan is the month in which the Muslim world donates very generously towards charity. Many Organizations, families & individuals are well supported in this month. I personally have noticed that many of us donate a lot of food hampers, maize etc. especially in the month of Ramadhan and this is in the form of ZAKAAT

QUESTION. My question is that; Yes, indeed you have supported the poor people in the villages BUT that food hamper isn’t going to last them until the next year, when you will come back in the same month of Ramadhan and donate food hampers etc. again.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE SHOULD STOP DOING THIS, but as much as we understand business and have a business mind, we need to look at a long term solution and strategy.

LONG TERM SOLUTION & STRATEGY The long term solution is that we need to make them self-sustainable, so that they should become ZAKAAT payers instead of being ZAKAAT receivers. According to my understanding, the real achievement is making a ZAKAAT receiver become a ZAKAAT payer.

HOW DOES IT WORK? Yes, it will be expensive and more difficult BUT it falls under:

“Don’t give them the fish, teach them how to fish!” To start off:

1. SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATION • Remember that education is the key to success. In Malawi, to get a job of a security guard, the minimum requirement is an MSCE (Malawi School Certificate of Education). If they

DISASTER. • We need to give them QUALITY EDUCATION, so that they may go forward in life.

3. VOCATIONAL TRAINING

• Studying at ASF Secondary School allows the child to learn ISLAMIC & SECULAR studies jointly. Which means that at the end of his studies, he is equipped with adequate Islamic knowledge and secular studies to move forward in life.

• For those people of the public, who have passed the age of school, we can train them in such a field which can be a means of earning a living for them.

• This is a long process but an effective process, as this same child who studies and becomes successful can support his whole family.

2. FURTHER EDUCATION

• This means that they can become carpenters, electricians, drivers, tailors, cooks etc. • ASF had started the tailoring center in 2016 and has already helped 47 ladies with tailoring machines. These ladies studied at the center, gained basic Islamic knowledge and the skill of tailoring. Now they have been given the machine, so that they can make a living out of it.

A SHIP STUCK

ABUL-HASAN KHARQAANI & A HADITH

A pious man was once captured by a king and narrates, “One of the king’s ship was once stuck in a river and simply wouldn’t budge from its position. After summoning all of his roughly 3,000 prisoners to push it in unison, they too were unable to move it, and so they eventually said, “Tell only the Muslim prisoners to push it, but let them say whatever they want to while doing so.”

A person wanting to learn the Science of the Hadith once approached Hadrat Abul-Hasan Kharqaani and asked him, “Where did you get this knowledge?”

The king accepted this suggestion of theirs and commanded the mere 400 Muslim prisoners in his possession to free the ship in whichever way they could.

That night, he saw the Holy Prophet in a dream saying to him, “Abul-Hasan is speaking the truth. I was really the one who taught him.”

The narrator continues, “After grouping together, we all loudly proclaimed, “Yaa Rasool Allah (O Prophet of Allah) !” and then pushed the ship in one, single action. This shook it in its spot, and a few more attempts later, we were able to let it move freely again.”

It was soon noticed that, while he was reading before Hadrat Abul-Hasan Kharqaani, the Saint would say at certain places, “This is not a narration of the Holy

– Shawaahidul-Haqq by Allama Nabhāni, Pg. 163 Lesson Calling out to the Prophet in times of need was always the practice of the Ummah, and this action furthermore assisted them in solving their problems. How uninformed then, are those who say that such a practice is insignificant and an act of prophetworship?

He replied, “From the Holy Prophet .” Not believing him, the questioner then turned around and walked away.

So, the man immediately began to study under the great Saint.

Prophet’s .” When the man enquired as to how he knew this, Hadrat Abul-Hasan replied, “When you started reading, I started looking at the blessed eyebrows of the Beloved , and whenever he frowned, I knew he was rejecting that certain statement being attributed to him.” – Tazkiratul-Auliya, Pg. 496

Q>A

Got any questions you want to ask us? Simply email us at info@asfmw.com and we’ll publish the best questions with relevant answers.

But the Wahabis and Deobandis reject that the Nabi has IlmeGhaib. They go to the extent to say that he does not know what state he will pass away (Khatima) and what is behind the wall. They also say that if anyone believes that the Nabi possessed Ilme-Ghaib, becomes a Mushrik (polytheist). They say that the extent of the knowledge of the Cursed Shaytaan is proven from the Quraan while this cannot be said for the knowledge of the Nabi . They do not even accept that Allah had blessed him with such knowledge, (refer to BaraheeneQaa’tiya written by Khaleel Ahmed Ambetwi). I have never written in any of my books or claimed similarity of knowledge between Allah and His Rasool . Let alone similarity, I have distinctly mentioned in my books that if you accumulate all the knowledge of the universe (Awwaleen and A’khireen) and compare it with the knowledge of Allah, it will be of no comparison. This comparison will not be similar to a drop of water in comparison to a million oceans.

How can one compare finite with infinite? (Refer to Imam Ahmad Rida’s masterpiece AdDoulatul-Makkiyyah for full details on this subject.)

His abode is the Fire of Hell. [By Imam Ahmad Rida]

Q

>Can a person pre-dig his grave and keep it ready to be buried in it? No one knows where he will die on this earth. This is not a correct thing to do. One can by all means prepare his Kafan and carry it around with him (travel). How is it possible for him to carry his grave wherever he goes? [By Imam Ahmad Rida]
